How does exception handling work in Python?

Q: How does exception handling work in Python?

`try` wraps risky code; `except` handles specific exceptions; `else` runs if no exception occurred; `finally` always runs (cleanup). Catch specific exceptions rather than bare `except`, and raise with `raise` to propagate or re-raise.
